Signed by Cowboys Cowboys agree to terms with Dontari Poe

[ClappingCarrot]

....We are already reaping the benefits of ridding Jurassic Marinelli.

So much this. He was a bigger handicap to this team getting better than Garrett.

 

[Rockport]

Poe was so happy someone signed him he’s reportedly going to have his torn quad repaired.

Haters will always find something to crap on.

 

[Daillest88]

why all the excitement? I don't get it. is it because these are names we have heard of in the past and we are perhaps living in the past?

Carolina was 23rd on defense. 29th in rush defense. we were 11th in rush defense.... and we just signed their two DTs...excuse me if I am not excited.

When Poe got injured for 5 games they gave up an additional 50 yards on the ground. Luke has a bad year there linebackers played horrible too.

....yes sir, I saw that to as well. For some reason when other teams had to bring their A running game, they did. Right up the middle.

 

[panchucko]

This team is stacked.

Again

 

[Rockport]

Can we dump Crawford now

Why exactly.

 

[Carson]

Why exactly.

some reason people are obsessed with his cap hit. Just keep him as he can play multiple positions.

Now if you guarantee me we will get a guy like Griffen, I’m ok with that.

If not, just keep Crawford

 

[Redball Express]

Now can we please go get Griffen and call this FA period a win?

Ummm..

Replace Beard with something more than a bandage
.

then I will feel better Zeke and Dak are not at risk.

Then I can relax again.

 

[Silverstar]

Why you don’t think we need solid run stopping rotational players

 

[JeffInDC]

If this means Woods is coming off the bench, this instantly makes our line better.

Gimme Gregory back and a top tier pass rusher in rounds 1-2. GAWD. COWBOYS!

Been saying this for 2 years

I guess they don't watch him play. I get it, most people focus on DLaw and sacks like that is suppose to define how good overall a player is. Crawford is no Watt, but he's a versatile better than average defensive lineman no matter what position he plays. Well worth the money.

 

[Starforever]

How ridiculous is this team that Blake Bell isn't the most talented guy you signed today?

Crazy.

Lol, Risen, you are cracking me up. Maybe, the draft will change your mind.

 

[McKDaddy]

Now can we please go get Griffen and call this FA period a win?

With McCoy & Poe are the cowboys even in the FA Dline market any further? Don't get me wrong, if we could sign him financially I think it would be a home run offseason for fixing the Dline but i can't imagine them spending any more in FA on the position. What do ya'll think?

 

[risco]

Heck yeah

Finally!

 

[tm1119]

So we upgraded DT and S...what we’ve all been screaming for years.


But in the meantime we downgraded at CB, DE, and C (can’t really blame C on anyone)

I guess we can’t have all nice things at once

We will fill those needs. I see a CB and C in rounds 1-3. McGovern or Looney can handle C for a year or two.

If Gregory comes back and is healthy, him and Crawford are solid

 

[Bowdown27]

This is a massive cop out...none of your reasons are even close to legitimate..you can argue Poe was hurt..maybe the scheme fit..or some other things..but you are just making poor excuses for poor play

I can see how it comes off that way. All together they played poorly. Yes they were second in sacks but overall yes. Team was in disarray and overall didn’t do well clearly.

 

[Bowdown27]

Both of them actually graded out OK

They did. Overall the team wasn’t doing well. Hope they come here and do well.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

We're not going to sign Griffen. You know the Cowboys' golden rule in free agency. You must ignore one glaring need and hope for the best. This year that is DE.

LLLOOOLLL

Can we dump Crawford now

Other the fanbase enthusiasm, there is not much upside cutting him before June 1st. I believe the cap impact is the same (deadcap money and cap savings). At this point it would make more sense for the FO to keep him through OTAs and possibly the preseason for depth or possibly trading (same cap impact if were to be cut) him to another team that lost a player to injury.
